[0033] Currently, all toasters on the market use a vertically placed bread inlet, and the bread toasting is mainly started by a downward-pushing mechanical switch and ends with an automatic rebound. This usage method requires lifting the hand during the process of taking and placing bread, which is inconvenient to operate and inefficient in some usage scenarios (such as office scenarios).

[0034] In view of this, the utility model provides a cooking utensil. Figures 1 to 7 This is an embodiment of the cooking utensil provided by the present invention, and the cooking utensil will be described below in conjunction with specific drawings.

[0035] See also Figures 1 to 7 The cooking utensil 100 includes a main body 1 and a supporting structure 2. A heating cavity 11 is arranged inside the main body 1, and an opening 12 communicating with the heating cavity 11 is opened on one side of the main body 1 facing upward horizontally. The supporting structure 2 can be horizontally extended into or extended out of the heating cavity 11 from the opening 12, so that it has a heating position located in the heating cavity 11 and a taking and placing position at least partially extended out of the heating cavity 11 in its movable range.

[0036] In the technical solution of the present invention, the heating chamber 11 is provided in the main body 1 of the cooking utensil 100, and at the same time, the opening 12 is provided on the horizontal upward side of the main body 1, and the opening 12 is used for putting in and taking out food. Compared with the vertical opening 12, the user does not need to raise his hand when taking in and putting in food, so that the food can be taken in and put in a sitting environment such as an office, and the operation is convenient. Based on this, when placing and taking out food, it is inconvenient for the user to put his hand into the heating chamber 11, so the present application also provides a movable supporting structure 2, which has at least the heating position extending into the heating chamber 11 and the taking and placing position partially extending out of the heating chamber 11, so that the user can take and place food on the supporting structure 2 outside the heating chamber 11, and send the food into the heating chamber 11 for heating through the movable supporting structure 2, which further facilitates the taking and placing of food on the one hand, and improves the safety of use on the other hand.

[0037] It should be noted that the bearing structure 2 can be a structure independent of the main body 1, that is, it can be removed from the main body 1 for easy cleaning. However, it is obvious that in the above-mentioned use environment, the separation of the bearing structure 2 and the main body 1 also causes inconvenience in operation. Therefore, in the present application, the main body 1 of the bearing structure 2 is configured to partially extend out of the heating chamber 11 to avoid the bearing structure 2 from being separated from the main body 1 during normal operation, so as to simplify the operation. Of course, for the convenience of cleaning, the bearing structure 2 can be a combination of a bearing bracket and a baking tray. The bearing bracket can be movably arranged on the main body 1, and the baking tray is supported by the bearing bracket, so that the baking tray can be detachably arranged for easy cleaning. At the same time, under this structure, the number of the baking trays can be unlimited, and is mainly based on actual use requirements and the size of the main body 1, and is not limited here.

[0038] Specifically, the cooking utensil 100 further includes a driving structure 3, which is used to drive the bearing structure 2 to switch between the heating position and the placement position. The bearing structure 2 can be directly operated manually by a user, but the bearing structure 2 placed in the heating chamber 11 is obviously at a higher temperature, and direct manual operation requires the use of heat-insulating tools, which is obviously cumbersome. Therefore, in the present application, the driving structure 3 is further provided on the cooking utensil 100 to drive the bearing structure 2 to move through the driving structure 3, thereby solving the above problem.

[0039] Furthermore, the driving structure 3 includes an operating member 31 that is drivingly connected to the bearing structure 2, and the operating member 31 at least partially exposes the main body 1. It is understandable that the driving structure 3 can be an electric structure, that is, it is directly controlled by a controller, and the user only needs to operate on the panel of the cooking utensil 100, or even operate through a remotely connected control terminal to completely avoid direct contact between the user and the bearing structure 2, but it is obvious that the structure and control cost of this method are high, and the reliability is poor. In the case of system abnormality, the risk factor is high. Therefore, in the present application, the driving structure 3 is set as the manually operated operating member 31, and the part of the main body 1 partially exposed by the operating member 31 is used as the user's operating part 312 to isolate the temperature in the heating chamber 11. Without using a heat insulation tool, the bearing structure 2 can also be operated to move, and the structure is simple, the stability is strong, and it is more reliable.

[0040] Specifically, it can be understood that the operating member 31 can be arranged in a variety of ways, including but not limited to a handle structure directly arranged on the bearing structure 2, which is arranged on the side of the bearing structure 2 facing the opening 12, so that the handle structure can extend from the opening 12 to the heating chamber 11 to avoid being heated by the heating chamber 11, so as to facilitate manual operation by the user; it also includes arranging an operating component on the main body 1, and arranging a transmission component located between the bearing structure 2 and the operating component in the main body 1, such as a screw structure, the bearing structure 2 is arranged to be threadedly connected to the screw, and the operating component arranged on the main body 1 is fixedly connected to the screw, and the operating component is operated to drive the screw to rotate, thereby driving the bearing structure 2 to move. The above structures can all realize the function of driving the bearing structure 2 to move and preventing the user from approaching the heating chamber 11. This is not limited in the present application. In the embodiment of the present application, a slide groove 13 extending along the moving direction of the bearing structure 2 is provided on the main body 1. The operating member 31 includes a connecting rod 311 slidably arranged in the slide groove 13. The part of the connecting rod 311 located in the heating chamber 11 is fixedly connected to the bearing structure 2. The part of the connecting rod 311 located outside the main body 1 is provided with an operating portion 312. The operating member 31 is set as the connecting rod 311 that is provided on the main body 1, and the connecting rod 311 is fixedly connected to the bearing structure 2. On the one hand, the connecting rod 311 slides along the slide groove 13 to drive the bearing structure 2 to move. The structure is simple, the operation is convenient and more interesting. On the other hand, the operating portion 312 on the connecting rod 311 is isolated from the heating chamber 11 by the main body 1, which further reduces the temperature of the operating portion 312, is easy to operate and has high safety.

[0041] Furthermore, the operating portion 312 includes a spherical structure, a strip structure or an annular structure fixed to the connecting rod 311. In order to enhance the isolation effect of the main body 1, the size of the slide groove 13 should not be too large, so the cross-sectional size of the connecting rod 311 should not be too large. However, at this time, the too small cross-sectional size of the connecting rod 311 will be inconvenient for the user to hold and operate. Therefore, in the present application, the operating portion 312 is also provided with a holding structure fixed on the connecting rod 311. On the one hand, the increased size is convenient for user operation, and on the other hand, it plays a further heat insulation effect. Specifically, the shape of the holding structure is not limited. The embodiments given in the present application include a spherical structure, a strip structure and an annular structure. It can also be set to any other structure of any shape as long as it can meet the above functional requirements. The holding structure can also be a detachable structure so that users can freely replace it according to their own preferences, which is more personalized and meets the customer's perception.

[0042] In addition, a cover plate 4 is movably provided at the opening 12, and the cover plate 4 has a closed position covering the opening 12 and an open position away from the opening 12 in its movable travel. The opening 12 is connected to the heating chamber 11, and heat is inevitably transferred out of the opening 12. Considering the safety of use, the heating performance of the heating chamber 11, and preventing contaminants from contaminating the food through the open opening 12, the cover plate 4 is also provided at the opening 12 in the present application.

[0043] Furthermore, the structure and arrangement of the cover plate 4 can be various, including but not limited to fixing the cover plate 4 to one end of the bearing structure 2 close to the opening 12, so that the cover plate 4 moves with the bearing structure 2, so that when the bearing structure 2 is in the heating position, the cover plate 4 is just covered at the opening 12 to achieve the above function. The present application also proposes a structure in which the cover plate 4 is rotatably mounted on the main body 1, so that the cover plate 4 is independently arranged from the bearing structure 2, and the rotatably arranged cover plate 4 requires a smaller movable space, which is convenient for use.

[0044] Further, when the cover plate 4 is rotatably mounted on the main body 1, the cover plate 4 can be operated by a separate operating structure, and the user manually opens the cover plate 4 or the controller controls the cover plate 4 to open. However, such a setting is obviously more complicated, and requires the cover plate 4 and the bearing structure 2 to be operated separately. In the present application, an elastic reset member is provided at the rotation connection between the cover plate 4 and the main body 1, so that the bearing structure 2 can abut and drive the cover plate 4 to rotate from the closed position to the open position during the movement from the heating position to the pick-and-place position; and the elastic reset member drives the cover plate 4 to return to the closed state during the movement from the pick-and-place state to the heating state. With such a setting, the user does not need to manually operate the cover plate 4 to rotate, and the cover plate 4 can be driven to rotate by the movement of the bearing structure 2 itself, and when the bearing structure 2 retreats into the heating chamber 11, the cover plate 4 can be automatically reset by the elastic reset structure to cover the opening 12. The structure is simple and the effect is good, which solves the above-mentioned cumbersome operation problem. It can be understood that the elastic return member can be a linear spring arranged between the cover plate 4 and the main body 1, which is compressed when the cover plate 4 is opened, so as to be able to push the cover plate 4 to return to the opening 12, but this setting method has certain limitations on the structure of the cover plate 4 and the main body 1. In this embodiment, the elastic return member is set as a torsion spring, which has a simple structure, mature technology, and is easy to set up.

[0045] In addition, a heating plate 5 is also provided on the top outside the main body 1. Since the main body 1 adopts the side opening 12, the top of the main body 1 is freed. For the main use scenario of the cooking utensil 100 in this application, that is, use in a work scenario, the heating cavity 11 is used to heat breakfast ingredients, and beverages may also need to be heated. In this application, the heating plate 5 is also provided on the top of the main body 1 to perform top heating independently of the heating cavity 11. The ingredients can be heated in the heating cavity 11 and the beverages can be heated on the heating plate 5 at the same time, or only one of the heating functions can be used separately. In this way, the function of the cooking utensil 100 is enriched, and the efficiency of breakfast use in a work scenario is improved.
